RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,54@ dated April 30,1889.

Application iiled February 27, 1889. Serial No. 301,349. (No model.)

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SAMUEL DUSENBURY ToMPKINs and THOMAS HILTONWILLIAMS, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State ofNew Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Radiators,which is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure lis a side elevation of a leg attached to asection of the radiator; Fig. 2, alvertical section through Fig. 1 bythe line ac at; Fig. 3, a perspective view of the leg; Fig. 4, a frontelevation of a compound radiator, partially in section, showing twolegs, one at each end.

I Our invention relates to supports for radiators; and it consists of anarched leg. shaped to tit the bottom of any section of the radiator, towhich it is rmly secured by a screw-bolt. Every section of the radiatoris capable of replacing, in case of accident, every other one as regardsattaching the legs.

Leg A is preferably made in one casting, properly cored out and highlyornamental. At its upper extremity it forms an arched tray, 0 so shapedas to conform to the: shape of the bottom V of a radiator-section, R,and the Vborders a of which iit4 close around thebottom of said section,preventing lateral motion when the leg is attached. At the center partof leg A, in the space left between the two supports o2, which carry thetray a a, base as is projecting below. Through this base and the metalin the center of the leg a hole,b, is provided, corresponding with ascrew-threaded opening, b2, at the bottom of each radiator-section R insuch a Inanner that when a section is placed in a leg screw-bolt b canbe inserted through hole b and screwed into hole b2 of radiatof-sectionRuntil the head of bolt b engages with the 'outer surface of base 0.3,pinning leg A irmly to radiator-section R, the shape and borders of thearched tray a preventing any lateral motion between the leg and t-hesection resting thereon.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent,is

The combination, with a radiator composed of interchangeable sect-ions,each having a convex lower end, of interchangeable legarches for thesections, having concave upper surfaces to receive the convex lower endsof the radiator-sections, secured by a bolt or other locking device tohold the leg-arches in position on any section ,y substantially asdescribed.
